Albatross & Arnold

My wife and I wanted to celebrate our anniversary in the city centre but wanted something a bit different but still special, cue Albatross and Arnold, small intimate venue which looks the part and small plate menu which was really tasty. I'd recommend the tuna and the outstanding pork belly which was the stand out dish along with the goats cheese. Staff were excellent, Simon and Val were a real credit to the place and I'd like to say a massive thank you to both especially Simon who surprised us with complimentary cocktails to celebrate and we went next door to try our 'skills' on the range golf sim. It was a great anniversary that we'll remember and felt welcome from start to finish. Highly recommend for drinks or eating. Basically just go and check it out, you wont be disappointed.

My girlfriend and I came here for dinner. Great food, drinks, venue and atmosphere. We had a fantastic time! Magda did a great job of hosting us, explaining in detail each dish and drink and giving us good recommendations! Once we finished the meal we even got a tour of the new bar with virtual golf screens. We'll definitely be back! 100% recommend.

Came here for anniversary dinner, blown away by quality. We decided to go for the seven course taster menu, with accompanying wines. The two people that were our main servers, Charlie and Magda, were attentive and informative, telling us how the chef selects his menu each morning from what is available. We flitted from langoustine to cauliflower custard, artichoke to excellent cod with delicious crispy skin. Each wine pairing highlighted the course brilliantly. Would definitely revisit, to see what chef has managed to create .

My boyfriend and I booked a table for 8pm last night, but arrived slightly earlier at 7.50pm. We were seated and told that they were running 15 minutes behind schedule, which is fair enough on a busy Saturday night, and that a barman would arrive shortly to take our drinks order. After half an hour of waiting we got up and asked for service, staff were apologetic and lovely, and our cocktails arrived quickly after. We ordered the 7 course meal, but unfortunately we were only served 6 out of 7 courses. The food though was absolutely incredible! Each plate is quite small, which is just as well with how many there are and how rich the food is, and the presentation of each dish was beautiful. The staff explained what each dish was, and despite the few hiccups we had during the evening, I can't fault their service at all, as they were all lovely, very polite and apologetic. I think it was just an unfortunate night to have booked as they had new staff and were down a staff member too. As compensation we were given 2 free cocktails and charged for a 5 course meal, and not the 7 course. Despite the night not running as smoothly as it could, I would be happy to go again, and really enjoyed our meal.

I havent eaten here yet but just wanted to thank Charlie who helped us to try and get a table after Manchester house going bust and we were trying to find room to accomodate us at short notice my friend was also trying and booked woods she was so kind in booking then within 5 minutes cancelling but i will definately be coming and giving the restaurant a try .... Thanks Charlie they are lucky to have you 👍
